Snagged a pic of the white robotaxi this time
Tomorrow Tesla is launching robotaxi early access to a small group. Today, I spotted this one out and about on Riverside, this time with no chase car. Also saw (an unpictured) white version. Both were in areas Tesla has been testing. Still interested in seeing the launch map 👀

More on Tesla's test efforts, area and the lead up to robotaxi:.

The EV maker’s CEO said the service will ‘tentatively’ start on June 22 but could shift due to safety reasons.

Tesla’s robotaxis are expected to launch at a moment when the billionaire and his cars have never been more polarizing. The service is now expected to start June 22 in a few square miles of Austin. Link below:
